With news of gog's arrival to Russia, is there any plans for gog.com coming to Brazil?

Steam, here, have favorable regional pricing for many games and local payment methods, like 'boleto bancario' or national credit cards, that are more affordable than buying with international credit cards and all the taxes imposed to them.

Because of our stupid government, Brazilian currency got extremely devalued in the last few months. A $5.99 game is costing to us 60-75% more now than in late 2013, for instance.
Maybe when more brazilians join GOG.
I don't think there's many of them here.
After doing a quick search, I found:
almabrds (myself), l0rdtr3k, Stooner, Neobr10, Falci, FredericoR, WikIRafa, tokisto, Wolfox, RafaelLVX, Tarzimal, ExecB5, capile2, Konasaito, DDaniel, lalowei, fabricioz, doomer, RolodeX, miwi, thiagohrs, Drakhyrr, dquadros, joppo, thiagovscoelho

That's not much.

I think in that list you might be missing the name of the most handsome, well endowed, and least prone to lie about himself, brazilian in the forums. Just saying...

Also, the search function is notoriously broken, so I wouldn't trust it. Besides, I don't think there are that many russians in the forums so it might not be the best unit to measure a country's GOG user base, most users never come here; look at our OP friend, he's been here longer than I did and this is his first post.

That being said, more payment options is great for those who need it, but I don't wish for regional pricing here. Sure, I haven't bought anything here in a while, but I prefer the fluid nature than to end up paying more than is needed when the Dollar in Brazil finally goes down.
If you guys can overthrow the leaders that think video games are gambling and screw over anyone who doesn't build in Brazil, I'm sure they'd flock with open arms.

That's why I said "quick search", I just used the search button, I didn't contact the GOG staff to get the exact number.
They will do it, if they think it's profitable. My number is not exact, but c'mon, 26 people in 7 years, even if there are lurkers, this quantity is ridiculous.
They will create separated forums for Brazilian Portuguese and Lusitanian Portuguese? Translate the site to both languages?
Being realistic, there's many more interesting countries to choose first. As much as I would like this, I know that Brazil is not at the top of their list.

Are you sure you want GOG to acknowledge Brazil's existence? it seems (to me) like lately when GOG tries to "friend" a country, something happens that bites that country's users backsides.

I think the fact that they're opening offices in LA means that they're already best buddies with 'Murica. =P
